How are You?


Dear friend,

 

How are you?

I heard you had moved,

In a new city, you found a new groove,

But I also heard it blew,

This new life felt like a ruse.

How are you?

 

How are you?

I am worried,

I heard you live in a flurry,

Always in a hurry,

Letting your feelings stay blurry,

I am worried,

How are you?

 

How are you?

I know you hurry and scurry about,

But that hurry and scurry about flouts

Actual work, you burn out,

You want out of your skin, you freak out,

I know you are fading out,

How are you?

 

How are you?

I try to help,

When I reach out you yelp,

Acting like there is nothing wrong, slippery like kelp,

But the problems are growing like a welt,

Sincerely I’m heartfelt,

Why won’t you let me help?

How are you?

 

How are you?

I am coming,

Don’t fight, it’s numbing,

You’ll find ways to be cunning,

But I won’t be shunning,

Your problems are important, I am not running,

I am here for you, I am coming.

How are you?

 

Sincerely, 

Hannah
